College Basketball Picks: Picks, Odds & Predictions for Monday, December 5

This article is part of our College Basketball Picks series.

After another 1-2 day yesterday, my overall record falls to 9-9 on the year. December is a tough month to navigate as team motivation and focus in the time between the Thanksgiving tournaments and conference schedules is a big wildcard. But, I'll keep mining away for profitable opportunities for us! Normally, I try to find 2-3 games on a given day, but tonight's slate is mighty skinny and revealed only one play worthy of attention. 

Kent State @ Gonzaga

The Golden Flashes have gone toe-to-toe with worthy foes this year, including a very tight 46-44 slugfest against #1 Houston. To date, Kent State has hung its hat on their excellent pressure defense, a defense that will surely be tested by the Zags and their No. 2 Adjusted Offensive efficiency rating. Gonzaga also offers a much different challenge than Houston in big man Drew Timme. However, with seasoned point guard Sincere Carry running the show for the Kent State, I believe the Flashes can keep this one close. Take all the points you can get.
